1. Spritz

3 Months 12 Days · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 19 mi from Tonawanda

If you’re coming across my adoption profile you’re probably looking to enrich your life with “man’s best friend”. Yeah yeah I know, “loyalty”…“unconditional love” … the lore of the notorious D.O.G. But, you know what canine sympathizers never want to talk about? Potty training in the dead of winter. Sleepless nights while crate training. All of the blood, sweat and tears that goes into molding your “loyal best friend”. You want something real? Something authentic? Someone who is unapologetically themselves and won’t be influenced by a biscuit or a pat on the head? Get a cat. Better yet, get me.

Read more about Spritz

I’m Spritz. I’m 3 months old, 3 pounds big, and 3 million times more mature than a puppy. I am practically self sufficient. You really don’t NEED to do much for me but you’ll WANT to. My big dreamy eyes and raspy purr will have you doodling my name during your 9 to 5. You’ll be counting down the seconds until you can get home and pull out that laser pointer. Once you go cat, you never go back. See you at home;)

DOB: 7/1/2024
Nairobi is a quiet, gentle girl who is ready to find a forever home of her very own! After dedicating herself to raising her litter of kittens, it’s finally her turn to be spoiled and loved.

Nairobi prefers the simple things in life—a peaceful home, a cozy blanket, and a comfy spot to curl up for a nap. She’s not one to demand constant attention, but she certainly enjoys some love and affection when she’s in the mood!

Nairobi does well with both cats and dogs, but she would thrive in a calm, quiet environment where she can relax and feel comfortable.

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 61 mi from Tonawanda

Relish

Female

DOB: 07/04/26
Relish is the cutest little kitten who reminds her foster family of a baby bunny when she bounces around playing with toys. Speaking of toys, Relish LOVES to play. Her favorite thing in the world is to race around chasing ping pong balls. She chirps and makes adorable sounds while she bounces around. Relish starts purring immediately when she hears her foster family's voices or sees them walk into the room. When she's tired of chasing her toys, she likes to make a little nest and wrap up in her blanket. Relish shares a foster home with dogs and other cats.

Snickers loves wrestling with his siblings and showing off his playful side before settling down for some well-deserved relaxation. He’s a laid-back little guy who enjoys being part of the action without needing to be the center of attention.

Snickers does great with other cats and dogs, making him a wonderful addition to a home with furry friends.

Clara hasn’t had the easiest start. After being dumped with her kittens, this sweet mama is ready to leave her past behind and find a forever home where she can finally be the one getting spoiled!

Clara is a quiet, laid-back girl who loves attention but also appreciates her personal space. She’s not the type to demand your attention 24/7, but she’ll happily soak up affection when it’s offered. Her favorite pastimes include birdwatching from a cozy window and curling up in a soft blanket for a well-deserved nap.

Clara currently lives with other cats but prefers to keep to herself rather than socialize with them. She also shares her foster home with dogs and does just fine with her canine roommates!

Clara would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a sweet, independent girl who enjoys affection without needing to be the center of attention.

Can I tell you how much I LOVE Trudy?!

Trudy will shower you with love, but she calls the shots. She wants to be with you, but she doesn't want to be smothered.

Trudy is very social and she wants to live with another young cat who would enjoy her company. She'd be a great match with a number of her brothers. (see their bios on our website!)

Read more about Pablo

His brother Coven is also a Bengal mix, but he is all black except for a small white patch on his chest. And he has the most striking golden eyes! He's the most adventuresome - the first to explore behind the couch and climb the cabinets. And he's the most affectionate. Always wanting to be in your lap for sweet pets and purrs.

Their foster brother Herman is the smallest of the bunch, but he has the BIGGEST PURR! The moment he sees you his motor starts humming. He's the perfect balance of the group - fun and affectionate, and sweet as can be.

All three are well-adjusted, love people, cats, dogs & kids. They're healthy physically and emotionally and are litter trained without incident.

All tested negative for both FIV and feline leukemia. They have received all age appropriate vaccinations including rabies & FVRCP. They are neutered and microchipped.

We'd love to see them adopted in any combination. Adopt all three - or adopt any 2 together. If you adopt one, we'd like them to have another young feline companion who would love their joyful, energetic company.

Thankfully, someone pulled my mom just in time for her to have me and my brothers and

I’m a playful and energetic girl ready to find my forever home. I’m still just a baby, so I really like being with my humans the best. I’m super sweet and would love a good nap in your lap.

15. Eartha Kitty

Young (2 years 1 month) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 65 mi from Tonawanda

Eartha is a cat who will absolutely adore you!

She's a beautiful 2 yr old tuxedo girl who lost her left eye as a kitten and has very limited vision in her remaining eye.

But Eartha didn’t get the memo that she was supposed to let that slow her down. Once she learns her surroundings, she gets around surprisingly well - and she LOVES life..

And most of all, she loves her people. She’s affectionate, cuddly, social and happiest when she’s being held, sitting on a lap or stretched out beside you getting pets.

She’ll need scratching posts and some consistency. In return? You get Eartha. And we think that’s a pretty spectacular deal.

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
